What is the best visa option for a retired Canadian citizen living in Thailand with a Thai family?

Richard *******

The first time I applied for 1 year extension, I applied based on marriage. The next year I switched to retirement as the paperwork is much less and I easily met the monthly income figure on my pension.

I am guessing then that the work around here would be simply to arrive on an SETV and then change that into a non-imm O with the correct funds/paperwork.

Can someone extend their visa for 30 days if they lost their departure card in Thailand?

Richard *******

I totally agree with

, It happens a lot, and its not really considered a big deal. I lost mine back before i retired and didnt even worry about it, when i got to the airport to leave, i just asked the friendly Qatar airways lady to give me another, she was happy to do so.

The requirements are listed on the UK gov website, they have been changed since I last applied. After a second look it seems that a simple copy of visa will be enough.
